nah it won't unfortunately.

have a small checklist to accomplish before it's waterbound.

1. reattach & secure windshield- some of the wholes i can get to the back of, probably 2/3s of them i can, which is good cuz ill through bolt it. the others ill have to "fix" the hole and reattach the windshield.

2. some of the interior side panels need nuts on the back of the panels

3. the front eyelet isn't cooperating... so im going to reinforce it.

4. ill probably change the oil & the impeller as a precautcion

5. some fiberglass issues to address

6. i think im going to remove the red stripe, it's the most messed up part exterior wise, and just redo it with black. i think it might make the MAUVE look better.



boat got named also. Ricky Mauve.

some progress yesterday.... im really surprised and happy with how much it's cleaning up.

it cleaned up more than this but i had to GTFO before i took another pic before the storm of the century tried to obliterate where the boat is.

That thing looks minty

 

[Yaj Yak]

so. i got this yesterday.

it's a trailer for an 03 nautique. should fit it well enough. better than not having a trailer for sure.

 

[Yaj Yak]

got it on the trailer yesterday. :fyws:

bow stop needs to be moved back but fits well enough. plenty of tongue weight.

 

[Eagle]

I can't wait to hear this thing

 

[Yaj Yak]

me too haha.

Motivation dropped a little with the other boat being so minty and awesome, but last night I got a bunch more buffed, got an idea for the windshield reattaching and gained some motivation.

 

[Yaj Yak]

ditched red stripe, tried out black stripe, really helps the look of it IMO.

 

[Eagle]

But has she hit the water yet? Can I come by today and see this thing floating somewhere?!!?

Does seem like a nice day for a cruise.

 

[Outlaw]

I love this thing, looking awesome with the buffing.

 

[Yaj Yak]

welp.

boat's sleeping now.

didn't conquer as much as I had wanted on it this past year... getting the formula kinda put this thing on the back burner.
